The OAKS Senior CenterGalesburg, IL

USAgain is pleased to partner with The OAKS Senior Center (Older Americans Knox, Inc.), whose motto is “seniors helping seniors,” to offer the Galesburg, IL, community an eco-friendly option to rid their closets of reusable but unwanted clothes, shoes and other textiles.

“I hope that many people will make use of this new bin as the more textiles collected the more OAKS will be able to keep helping seniors in other ways,” said OAKS president, Beverly Tracy.

The OAKS has been helping seniors since it’s incorporation in the early 1980’s and is completely supported by its members and friends. It has never received any government grants or funds.

Recycling tip of the month: GREEN Your Turkey

A Cornell study shows it takes 14 units of fossil fuel to produce a serving of turkey. If you're planning to have turkey, try to make it a little greener by purchasing it from a local market or farm. If the turkey is traveling a long distance to get to your table, that's adding to your carbon footprint. Best option -- skip the turkey!

Be Thankful!
